Hello all. First post here, and not sure if this is the correct place to ask, so mods please move if necessary.
I recently purchased a Galaxy Nexus, coming from a DroidX. One thing about the DX that I absolutely loved was the alarm clock. Although I've downloaded about a dozen or so of the most recommended alarm clocks from the Market, none of them have the features that I like about the blur alarm.
Slide/swipe to dismiss
Entire screen acts as a snooze button
Increasing volume
Does anyone have an alarm that has all of these features? If not, who/where could I request that an app be created? I'm not into modding my phone, so looking for an app.
On CyanogenDefy 7, we use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114975
You replace /system/app/DeskClock.apk with the one from that thread. No guarantee whatsoever it'll work on anything else but CyanogenDefy 7, so everything you do, it's at your own risk.

Hey guys
I was just thinking, it would be awesome if A_C Could include a slide to alarm program with s2u2. A_C, if you see this I know your always completely immersed in projects, but I think this would be pretty cool/convenient.
It could work like the regular s2u2 screen, but play any mp3 etc, and have a slider that looks like this:
DISMISS ==========<>=========== SNOOZE
What do you guys think?
there are other alarm tools out there that do the job, but i would definitely use the one integrated with s2u2 if it is ever made.
nice idea. i hope it will be done
the idea with sliding is to make sure that non-human forces cannot unlock your device. A better solution would be buttons that are integrated into S2U

Wait what? How is my slider different from the normal one that it can be slid by accident?
I like it. There have been a number of times where I've accidentally dismissed an alarm by hitting the dismiss button while flailing in my half-sleep... It's easier to dismiss an alarm than to postpone it which is a major fail in my book. The least detrimental option should always be the easiest to implement. Something requiring a more cognizant response would be quite welcome by me.
Personally, I think that to dismiss it should require something a bit more involved... perhaps a double slide or slide one direction then the opposite.
The only question I would have would be how to handle the duration? Just a a length preset in the settings?
While we're at it how about an alarm with the option to slowly increase the volume? Yes, I know a couple other apps have it... I don't really like them.
interesting idea...

It would be nice to have this for alarms and event reminders. I've always wanted a few more options on snoozing reminders! Right now there is a huge gap between 1 hour and 1 day. I wish there were options for 2 hours, 3, and 6 hours. (or whatever..)
My idea is once you hit snooze it will pop up a full screen of options for how long you would like to snooze. If you are too tired to answer it or just don't answer it, it should have a default after x seconds with no answer.
What do you guys think?
I'm not fond of the multiple interaction concept with regard to snoozing... Perhaps for appointment reminders, but not for alarms.
I'm for that. A very nice idea!

Non-Human?
Anyways...the actual iPhone S2U has a keypad lock on it also. You slide it, then the keypad fades in and requires you to put in the passcode
Would be nice if a Alarm cannot be "dismissed" by just one single click.
I have the incredible ability to snooze my alarm without remembering later... got me already into a lot of trouble

Good ideas. As for the increasing alarm can't you just edit a .wav to do that?

What I had intended by that is a system where you could specify that the first time it goes off it plays the sound at a certain level, let's say half volume. Then each time it goes off after a snooze the volume increases 10%.
Good idea i must partly agree.
Maybe you guys can even pull it off using the XDA resources to make this yourself.
Sorry about post number 13#, i like to call it evidence.

Alright, you know, I'm not even sure what was meant by that statement, however you need to settle down and relax. It's a bit late to go back over the thread, but you need to realize that not one of the persons responsible for dragging this thread through the mud was anything better than regular old fashioned users. No mods or admins contributed.
In all honesty, Noonski, did us a big favor. This thread was heading for the trash, he stepped in, moved it somewhere neutral and cleaned it up. He didn't have to, he didn't have to take the time to salvage it.
Attempting to place blame on the administration and foster anti-establishment sentiment is only going to prove an even greater disservice to the rest of us.
Be civil, accept that the moderators and administration do indeed have the final say in this PRIVATE venue and I'm sure you'll be treated fairly. Hell, be nice and polite and perhaps we may just get a venue for the type of discussion we would like to see...
Ok?
does any one know how i can change the time firmat from 24 hours to 12 hours.
thanks in advance
in regional settings on Time tab, by secting time style. I see it's avaible for ie. english US region settings, ie. for Polish it's not avaible to change it.
I don't have the option on mine for time style am I missing something.
Since we are talking about the clock here, I have a related question.
Does anyone now hot to use custom ringtones/audio files for the alarm?
I have one i've been using for a couple of years now, but I'm not allowed to choose it in the alarm interface, I can only choose between some preinstalled ones, although I did copy it on the device.
What I've tried so far is moving the audio file to the ,,Rings,, folder in Windows, but that had no effect.
Any suggestions, or third party apps for this?
When you want use your alarm-sound, copy the alarm-sound to Windows or Windows/Rings , but it must be WAV format. Otherwise use another soft, g-alarm, cradle alarm (I use cradle alarm and it's great.)
Is it posible to open G-alarm when i tap the time on the homescreen?
I dont like the built in alarm function, it is by far touch friendly.
I managed to sort things out, fidling with cradle alarm now, thx.
on the alarm issue
i figured this out by accident when i was getting really pissed with the same problem...
so open up your alarm menu, (either click the clock and go to the second panel, or just settings>clocks & alarms)
see the little bell icon above the time... select that and that opens up the menu for alarm sounds... i guess they have done it this way so you can essentially have 3 seperate alarm sounds/settings... but its a round about way to select a "default" by choping it out of the settings sounds menu

Hi,
Can someone tell me how can i increase the number of Alarm Clocks? by default there are three and they are not enough for me.
My device is HTC Leo (HD2).
i wonder if someone knows which registry entries can be modified to add more that the three alarms. there is big room in the screen for more ...
appreciate you replies.
Alarm Clocks
Hi,
my question above now clarified
Alarm Clocks
I have the same question... please help
I'm not sure if you can tweak the existing alarm software, but I've made a little alarm clock/stopwatch/timer app that you can have a bunch of timers on. (It's also more touch friendly than the windows one).
I've attached it if you'd like to try it out.
Justin
Nice work "Turbo4V" ... but your software lacks the function in the HTC's alarm to assign days for each alarm.
i still think that you can modify something in the registry in LEO to have similar functionality of your "Add".
i hope you or anyone else can tell me how to do that ... or ... improve your software to add the selection of days functionality
i want this to. any one know what file in the register? i dont want another app. i just want that on the htc hd2. but i want more then just 3
i want to know as well, i m happy with the existing alarm, all i need is increase the number of the alarms
please help
Any update???
Klaxon alarm clock, i use this one myself.
cant post urls as a new member but a quick google search should find it
I use touch alarm. It´s free and diplays the time in Sense home page.
http://touch-alarm.com/
any news about the subject?
Has nobody seriously found a fix for this problem yet ?
It's a major problem for me, I've had to resort to using my old mobile as an alarm clock!!

Bro you can use G-Alarm
This is Home page
ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/about
and you can get the full version through some rapidshare search.
I don't know if any of you out there have ever owned an e71x.. However, I love the alarm clock for that phone... It is a clock like melody which I can't seem to find anywhere online.. and anytime I find one similar.. it is close but, isn't the exact same.. I am pretty sure it is the default tone..
Any idea where I can find it or how I may be able to get it off of my e71x?
Hi all,
first of all thanks you if you read my post entirely .
I was happy to see the AOD added to the OnePlus family but I was wandering if it was possible to develop a mod for it.
I was looking for someone that could either guide me to do the following or could do it him/herself.
here's what I'm looking for I want to be able to display my calendar on the always on display not only the next event
but at least everything in my day and if possible the next one if nothing is remaining on that day itself
What I was thinking is either a modded selection of the AOD or a widget loader that could display any widget on the lock screen ( like the old kitkat, I really miss that feature )
I would not want a custom app that will keep the screen awake and do a fake AOD over the real one (like arc lighting) but a modded version of the OnePlus.
P.S. I don't normaly post here if you want me to change anything in this message feel free to tell me what I did wrong
I created that IDEA on the official community site
https://www.oneplus.com/ca_en/communityideas#/detail?threadId=2870
If anyone is interested, please feel free to like it
Also go around and look at the other suggestion.
Thanks!
